So the company holiday party is next Friday in lovely posh Beverly Hills; it should be exciting since we have a lot more people working at our company now, all of them around the same age, and they are all pretty cool. And of course everyone is bringing their significant others, so I am sure it'll be a fun night! It's semi-formal attire and since I don't really own too many dresses, (I have like 2 semi-formal dresses, one doesn't fit anymore and the other I wore toLASTyear's holiday party so that's a no, LOL), I ended up buying this silver number at the Ontario Mills Mall (the store is called Group USA in case you are also looking for a dress!). I bought it for $120 with tax, which is good considering I will probably wear it to my sister's Debutante Ball early next year (she is turning 18), and it's stretchy in case I gain weight LOL.

I am thinking to do either a smokey eye (since I don't wear anything like that to work) or maybe a silver/black eye....not sure yet I might have to play with looks this week...

I really, really, really liked THIS dress, but the size 4 and 6 were TOO small on me since it seemed like their sizes ran really small (I couldn't even zip up the back!) and they didn't have any sizes after that...so it made my decision easier haha.

Anyway, here is a quick black and purple look I did the other day, it's similar to another look I did awhile back but I wanted to use "Scene" e/s and "Black Ore", whereas in the other look Milani "Storm" and "Shock" were the only colors I pretty much used...and of course I had to watermark my damn face!

Someone asked what I suggest for the BEST nude/pink lip? I like NYX's "Lilac Field" lipgloss, it's the perfect baby pink and can be layered on top of a nude lipstick for a bit of color (so you don't look too dead!), such as NYX lipstick in "Circe", "MAC "Myth" or "Fleshpot" l/s. A dupe for MAC "Scene" eyeshadow I suggest is Flirt! Cosmetics e/s in "Black Ivy".

Oo i like your purple look.I've been experimenting and trying to find my favourite purple look.I LOVE the dress yougot!!And omg the white one is to DIE for as well.I'd just be really paranoid that the bottom would get grey and dirty.You're gonna be SLAMMIN.

That dress is very pretty and dramatic, you will need to fix the lenght obviosly. When I wear dresses I always weat Spanx so they fall a little more smoothly. I think the smokey eye using black and silver is a phenomenal idea. I am also wearing white and black clothes for a party on Saturday and I am using black glittery shadow with platinum in a like retro style thingy that I hope comes out good! let me stop talking about me right, like who cares! HAHA! Well I wished the best of times in your party enjoy yourself really good!

That white dress is gorgeous! but i cant wear long dresses, im barely 5 same my doctor :/ I hve to try layering black and purple shadow like that!Oh and I emailed you maybe w times since oct, because i havent gotten a reply so I have no idea if it made it through. let me know!
